Run 727

It was a relatively warm morning for this week’s run along the banks of the Birrarung/Yarra through Warrandyte. Many thanks to Atsuko for taking on the timekeeping duties today.

The handicaps worked well this week, with many runners finishing close together and a few exciting sprint finishes. Sandi was first across the line, closely followed by Paul just one second behind, and James only a few seconds later in third. Unfortunately for the top three, they crossed the line just before the 30-minute mark, meaning they were all classified as breaking.

In a true "Steven Bradbury" moment, Dave—who finished fourth—was the first runner after the 30-minute threshold, making him this week’s official winner (and on his birthday, no less!). Tony followed just eight seconds later in second place. Jon rounded out the field as the last runner over the line.

With a strong finish, one personal best was recorded this week—congratulations to Sandi for shaving 36 seconds off your previous PB! No other runners finished within 15 seconds of their best times.

Next week’s run will take place on Sunday, 3 August, with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

New runners and walkers are welcome to join at any point during the season!
